'A fact, it takes exesjpti aal quality to bring ttjir prjee at the motnet L Shortage of butter, however, Is more In the better qualities than in ordinary rtocV no far as fresh offerings are con cerned The coolers are full of butter, but this stock cost on the average more to put into the icehouses than the pres ent market. Many people are not in formed regard ins this. They feel that if there ir a bis stock of butter in storage if should be low priced. Occasionally thisyflappens when the storage interests pay too much for the product.

By Hymaa H. Cohea This year's cranberry crop of Oregon and Washington will break all records both as regards output per acre and the extent of the acreage in the two states. There will be a sufficient supply of home-grown cranberries for all require ments of th trade- aind there will be absolutely no need to Import even a single barrel from the East this season. While It Is quite possible that some eastern stock will be Imported this sea son because of the "ballup" in the local selling agencies, the present outlook is for a. surplus instead of a shortage of berries along the coast this season. MucH harm waa done the industry by the lack of business tactics by the association of growers last season, and fears are expressed that simitar mis takes will be made this season. To be on the safe side, therefore, it is likely that some stock will be imported.

Ang. 13. U. N. 8.) The grain market showed great irregularity- up to the very close 1f the day. Shorts were anxious to cover and when this buying had spent itself there were price declines, in corn and oats as the pressure from holders' became greater. September corn was the strongest, showing gains of from 14 to c, -while ' there were losae of e for December and H He for May. The en tire oats liMt was higher 1 1 V4 for Septem ber, 1 H fei 1 H c for Ixseember and 1 1 "4 e for May. Hog products were 20 42 He lower. Chicago. Aug. 18.- 1L N. S.) Corn started He higher today, with the exception of the dis tant futures, which showed a loss of 1 cent. Locals sold December and May at the start be cause of the favorable weather map. There was hot much pressure, and local bulls gave the mar ket support on the break. Oats opened unchanged to He higher. A local broker filled a buying order shortly after the opening taking the grain tff the market. Later there was scattered selling induced by the heaviness in com. The volume of business waa small. Ribs started 6c higher. There was no other trade. Chicago range by-Cnited Press: Open.

Fall sowing has started in several places throughout the Palouse district, a late rain having, given growers the op portunity to seed their crops much ahead of the normal time. .That xogiiy miners do not sppear to realise that wartime reactions have not been entirely removed ,in the milling business, is the text of a message just issued by Max H. Houser, second vice president of the grain corporation, to miller of this district He advises: ''It has come to our attention that some millers and flour jobbers are making contracts for sale and delivery of flour for a longer. pe riod than 60 days from date, contrary to the provisions of the wheat millers' and flour jobbers' agreements. We have been advised that this clause must be strictly enforced. We therefore ask that all millers and flour jobbers strictly adhere to the rule, otherwise the penalty provided in clause 1 4f the license will have to b,e in voked. "If you have made any such contracts ex tending longer than 60 days, please cancel them at once, and give notice to this , office of such cancellation."

He also asked, for the punish ment by ai fine of not more than $5000 or imprisonment -of not more than two years, or both, for those who restrict the production of food. .Under the terms of the food control act as It is now drawn there are pro visions "which prohibit any restriction of food production, by manipulation of transportation, markets or any other meana.- The attorney general contends that there1 is no. power of punishment under thej present' Mil, however, and hence bis ireques for an amendment. .

Senator McKellar rjf Tennessee declared in the senate this afternoon, in n speech urir tng; the adoption of his bill for the reg ulation of jcold storage plants."
